Marcos Rojo, a fellow defender, is out until 2018 with an ACL knee injury, while young striker James Wilson is also ruled out.

All of United's summer signings - Lindelof, Matic and Lukaku - are fit, and could make their Premier League bows for the club.

MAN UTD SUSPENSIONS

Manchester United will not have anyone suspended for the encounter.

MAN UTD POTENTIAL STARTING LINE-UP

The only selection headache truly troubling Jose Mourinho ahead of the game against West Ham comes at left-back, with first-choice Luke Shaw injured. Matteo Darmain deputised capably against Real Madrid in midweek and is likely to continue in the role.

The central defensive partnership of Lindelof and Chris Smalling was breached twice by the European champions, but they are growing as a duo and will surely be given another start each.

While Ander Herrera's substitution and Marouane Fellaini's introduction turned the tide in United's favour in midweek, Herrera is likely to continue alongside Paul Pogba in midfield.

And the striker cannot wait to return to his "old house" this weekend, being quoted in the Guardian as saying: “It was a great experience [there] … only happiness. I was living my dream and made that big step, which is not common.

“There is nothing negative about going there. It’s going to be my first game with my new club, against my old club in my old house. It’s only positive things – it’s an important moment for me.”

The Mexico international will spearhead the Hammers' attack against United, but they will be without the creative force of Manuel Lanzini, who is set to miss the first two games of the season after picking up a knock in training.

Aaron Cresswell is also a doubt, while Sofiane Feghouli, Cheikhou Kouyate, Diafra Sakho, Andy Carroll and Michail Antonio are all on the treatment table.
